Too many of those who have great courage for Good are in a dying generation. Too many who sacrifice all Good for a moments stay of the executioner's hand thrive on Le Pew's Planet: this is the "Radiant Future". I wonder if Elie ever had genuine hope for otherwise.
Will be off again, for a few days.

Tecumseh, want to meet for some grub this weekend?
OK, let's give it a shot. Saturday I'll be in Wooster. How about Sunday?
By the way, Wiesel is from Sighetu Marmaţiei. And that's the place where the commies set up a prison where they sent thousands to a slow but sure death in the late 1940s-early 1950s. Planet Pepe is multi-faceted, but rather single-minded, in the end.
"Multi-faceted, but rather single-minded"
That gets the "united fronts" in a nutshell..
Sunday sounds good. Let me call you friday to see if still ok for you.
Interesting info on Sighetu Marmatiei. Had not heard of it before [but then the Socs had so many facets dedicated to their single-minded purposes that even a year's study might not find them all].
Sighet prison is where the Reds put the creme-de-la creme (politicians, academics, archbishops, the lot) after taking power. Only a few lasted more than a couple years there: barefoot in a damp isolation cell, in -40 degrees weather, you die as surely as in a crematorium.
